The Sovereign University of Zetaopalatopia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Edwin Elwood with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 22.137 billion Zetaopalatopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Administration. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Zetaopalatopian economy, worth a remarkable 4,694 trillion Merits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 212,045 Merits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Zetaopalatopia is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zetaopalatopia's national animal is the Timber Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of The Hidden Moon.

Zetaopalatopia is ranked 2,021^st in the world and 91^st in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 260 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
